#9 pick in draft watch - how many wins do you think it will take

Recommended Posts

Honestly, the 3 teams directly above them may be attainable because they all have incentive to lose, and with KAT's news, Minnesota might shut him down, and of their 16 games remaining, they have NYK, Charlotte (still competing for playoffs), Memphis, Dallas, and the remaining teams are all playoff bound.

That's not a lot of wins coming their way. Ditto on the Lakers. Pelicans on the other hand has a lot of potential wins on their hands, and may have a softer schedule then the Grizzlies.

Let's see what we do against Washington. Thery also play Charlotte ( who is almost dead) beforer playing us. If they beat Charlotte and beat us, then we will probably go in the draft. Does it means that we need to go to full tank mode if we loose this game?

interesting question... that loss last night was bad for our convey standings. I had faith that we could win a good number of our remaining games but i'm not so sure anymore.

Need to beat the Washington, New Orleans and Hawks of the NBA to convey this pick. That game last night was embarrassing

After last night, the Grizzlies have officially been eliminated from the playoff race.

After

sooo many years of trying to get into the playoffs...

a few more years trying only to not get swept out of the first round

years taken to finally win a series ( fact that it happened against the Spurs made it even sweeter as they were our Goliath )

grit and grind nobody wanted to play the blue bears in the Grindhouse good old years

finally to this - being officially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs ...

can we pick ourselves back up quick enough to avoid years of no playoff ball ?

or is this back to our Pau , Shane, Stro , Mike, (ugh , whoever else we had ) days where the goal was just to - what was the goal ? Something something ‘dunkyland’ ...

we had just gotten good enough to where average nba fans at least knew who we were ... now - not so much .

I’m hoping that we have enough talent currently on the roster that can get healthy in the offseason and have us to where we can make a shrewd trade or two to get us back in this thing as quickly as next season.

I would like top 4 and would LOVE to get Zion but I think 8 might not be a great pick (or picking at 8 will be dicey).

I think the top 7 are gonna be Zion, RJ, Ja, Culver, Hunter, Garland, and Reddish in some order. Who's 8? We have some boom/bust wings there and Tier 2/Tier 3 bigs. Brandon Clarke could be interesting but we already have Jaren/Jonas/Rabb and Clarke really isn't a 3.

The Hawks are mocked to pick Hayes with Dallas's pick in a lot of the ones I've seen. Coby White is shooting up the ranks too.

Supposedly Hayes doesn't rebound. And, he's hurt.

Coby's good. If we are in that 6-8 range he should definitely be looked at. I can see Conley/Coby/Bradley/Delon being a nice guard core, but man that is small. I would prefer Culver/Hunter but Coby might be a better bet than Reddish.
